Morning Jay: The Donald Attacks!
The Weekly Standard ^ | 4/8/2011 | Jay Cost

Posted on 04/08/2011 5:02:45 AM PDT by SonOfDarkSkies

Donald Trump going after Obama on the Today Show strikes me as a big deal. A lot of the attention from the various Trump interviews has been directed at his unsubstantiated comments about Obama’s birth certificate. However, I think there is another angle here worth considering. Put those comments aside and listen to what is a very clear, direct critique of President Obama’s tenure.

I hate what’s happening to the country…What we’re doing is unbelievable. If you look at what’s going on, where our jobs are disappearing to foreign countries…You’re going paying 7 or 8 dollars a gallon for your oil soon.

I blame a lot (on Obama). It’s been a terrible presidency…

What’s going on with this country, the way we’re spending money like drunken sailors, we are just absolutely…going to destroy our own freedom...

If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one who has to get people together. I’m a deal man. I’ve made hundreds and hundreds of deals and transactions. He’s never done deals before…How’s he going to corral all these people?...You don’t have the right leader…

I think Obamacare is a total disaster…This country is going to hell.

There is something notable about this. Here is a high profile public figure with a hit television show. He doesn’t have a reputation for being a partisan political operative, and he comes on the Today Show (of all places!) to denounce the president in clear and unequivocal terms. That is something we have not seen yet during Obama’s term.

Thanks to Trump, I haven’t felt this good since 2008. I noticed that when I got out of bed this morning I was smiling.

Whether you like Donald Trump or not he is in a unique position in that he is not intimidated by any of the MSM, the MSM is intimidated by him.

I'll send matches and gasoline if they'll burn down Madison...

I wonder when the main-scream media will realize that he's doing them damage and try to shut him up . . . until then, as much as I find him hollow, GO DONALD, GO!

I can’t disagree with anything he said about Obama. We are all pleased with a person who is being very hard hitting and frank about the damage Obama is doing.

Finally our side is getting a hearing.

“...unsubstantiated comments about Obama’s birth certificate”

What’s unsubstantiated?! The only thing that’s unsubstantiated IS HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

The MSM will not mess with The Donald like they do Sarah Palin. They are scared of him.

You are WRONG about the birth certificate

Americans are highly irritated that Obama won’t show what the rest of us have to show regularly.

The only conclusion—he doesn’t have a birth certificate or the birth certificate is incriminating

...very early on people on our side said he was doing what he wanted to do to destroy this country of ours, and most didn’t believe them. As time went on, Dumbo did nothing to dispel those comments.
Cosby comes out to defend.....watch for more and more to rally to defend the fake President on the race issue. I hope
people stand by their beliefs and Trump has a trump card.
If you see wholesale retirements from WH staff, you’ll know the jig is up and Trump has the goods

Oboingo is too busy golfing and shooting hoops to notice the Donald is chipping away at him every day. It’s gonna sneak up on the Kenyan and one day he’ll be in a hole too deep to climb out of

SOMEONE has to articulate what the MSM will not.

Donald Trump is one (of the soon to be many) who has stepped into the void left by a completely biased and discredited MSM. In their race to support the MOST LIBERAL views and individuals, MOST OF THE TIME, the MSM has forfeited the basic trust and confidence of news viewers.

Right NOW, Trump is articulating the failures and flaws of the current Presidential Administration.

Later, others will step forward to express more and different opinions on topics which the MSM has ALSO either mishandled just as badly as coverage of this Administration, or has neglected altogether.

It’s going to get interesting.

The MSM will be reduced to hawking toothpaste and airing reality shows, etc.

Although I think that Trump is acting as cat's paw for HRC, I am delighted to see him jumping ugly on this.

Nobody else in this country at this time has the combination of wealth, ego, high-profile and respect to handle it this way and not be ignored by the media.

Conservatives have nothing to lose by sitting back and watching Trump hammer this issue.

Without saying a thing in the Donald's defense, we can still revel in his pure, unadulterated balls, for pushing the state-run-media on their utter failure to address this issue.

Maybe that's part of his plan - if he stands a snowball's chance in winning in 2012, he will have to knock down the media's death grip on the daily sound bites. Show the sheeple just how far down the rabbit hole they've been led.

Either way, it's a win-win for our side!
